A UK financial planning firm was spending more time formatting reports than advising clients. We built an AI reporting platform that compiles data, checks FCA compliance, and logs every decision immutably — while keeping advisors in full control.
Advisors spending more time on reports than on advice.
The client is a UK financial planning firm. Their advisors prepare personalised reports for every client — annual reviews, portfolio summaries, suitability assessments. Each report needs to meet FCA regulatory standards.
The problem wasn't the advice — the advisors were excellent. The problem was the paperwork. Each report took 2-3 hours to compile manually. Pull portfolio data from one system. Check market performance in another. Format everything into a compliant template. Cross-reference disclosures. Get sign-off from a senior advisor.
During peak periods — annual review season, market corrections — the backlog became unmanageable. Advisors were working evenings and weekends just to stay current on reports. The actual advisory work suffered.
And then there was the compliance risk:
1
Inconsistent compliance across advisors
Different advisors interpreted FCA requirements differently. Some included all required disclosures. Others missed them. There was no systematic way to verify compliance before the report went out.
2
No audit trail for regulators
When the FCA asked for the history of a specific report — who wrote it, what data was used, what changed between drafts — the firm had to reconstruct everything manually. It took days per report.

Advisors burning out on admin
The firm's best asset was its advisors' expertise. But those advisors were spending 60%+ of their time on report formatting and data compilation — not on the advice their clients were paying for.
The firm needed a system that could generate reports in minutes instead of hours, ensure every report met FCA standards automatically, and create an audit trail that regulators could inspect without the firm scrambling to reconstruct history.
What we built
Compliance as the foundation. Not an afterthought.
We designed the compliance engine first — mapping every FCA requirement, every suitability criterion, every required disclosure — before writing a single line of report generation code.
The result is a four-layer platform where the AI handles compilation and formatting, compliance validation runs automatically, advisors retain full editorial control, and every decision is logged permanently.
AI Report Generation
Pulls client portfolio data, market performance, and advisor inputs automatically. Compiles into FCA-compliant report templates in minutes — not hours. Includes suitability rationale, risk disclosures, and performance analysis.
FCA Compliance Validation
Every report is automatically checked against suitability requirements, disclosure rules, and firm-specific compliance policies. Missing disclosures are flagged before the report can proceed. Not a warning — a hard gate.
Advisor Review + Approval
Advisors can edit AI-generated reports, add personal commentary, and adjust recommendations. Senior advisors sign off before delivery. The AI drafts — a human decides. Every edit is versioned.
Immutable Audit Database
Every report version — AI draft, advisor edits, final approval — stored permanently and immutably. FCA inspectors can trace any report from delivery back to source data instantly. No reconstruction needed. Ever.
Results
Advisors advise again. Reports take care of themselves.

FAQ
About AI financial reporting.
Have more questions? Book a free 30-minute call and we will answer them honestly.
Yes — when designed with compliance as the foundation, not a feature. KORIX builds AI reporting systems with FCA suitability checks, required disclosures, and human review workflows from day one. Every report is validated before it reaches the client.
Does the AI replace financial advisors?
No. The AI handles data compilation, formatting, and compliance validation. Advisors review, edit, and approve every report. The AI frees them to spend more time on actual advice — the work their clients are paying for.
How is the audit trail maintained?
Every report version — the AI draft, advisor edits, senior approval — is stored in an immutable database. Nothing is overwritten or deleted. Regulators can trace any report from final delivery back to source data, instantly.
What data does the AI use?
The system connects to your existing portfolio management tools, market data feeds, and client records. No manual data entry — the AI pulls structured data automatically and compiles it into compliant templates.
Can advisors customise the reports?
Yes. Advisors can edit AI-generated reports, add personal commentary, and adjust recommendations. Every change is versioned — the system preserves both the AI draft and the advisor's final version.
How quickly can this be deployed?
Through the KORIX 21-Day AI Pilot, a governed reporting prototype can be in advisor hands within 3 weeks. Full enterprise rollouts typically run 8-12 weeks depending on report complexity and compliance requirements. Learn about the Pilot →
Is the system secure enough for financial data?
Yes. Built for UK regulated financial services — encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access controls, and immutable audit logging. Every access event is recorded.
